On FamilySearch there are death notices for from Zimbabwe for  Hyman Gillman and Elsie Gilman.  I'm pretty sure that Hyman was Elsie's husband - the right age group. same number of children and E. Gillman was the informant and widow.

Hope this helps.

The names of the children seem a bit off, but maybe some were nick-names.

Thank you very much for your reply to my query with the links. You have made my day lininberks.

One of the children matches my informant who now lives in England; he was her father.
